Cloud computing is a general concept that incorporates software-as-a-service (SaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and other recent well-known technology trends in which the common theme is reliance on the Internet for satisfying the computing needs of the users.  

This channel features presentations by thought leaders who cover the key topic areas in this increasingly important field.

Have you ever worked in an environment where servers were sort of just sitting around under-utilized? What about in an environment where you requested resources and they weren’t available? On-prem, this was a big deal. In the cloud world, you don’t see that as much.

Instead, you see something just as bad -- if not worse. In the cloud, resources (compute, storage, etc.) are always either over- or under-provisioned. Organizations are either spending way too much money monthly in the cloud for resources that aren’t needed or “scaling up” strategies aren’t in place, which ends in production environments not performing the way engineers are expecting. How can you plan for resource and cost optimization in the cloud?

In this session, you will learn:
- How to optimize Kubernetes clusters from a resource perspective.
- How to optimize Kubernetes resources/objects.
- Cost optimization strategies.
- Planning how resources will be used to avoid over or under utilization.

Kubernetes Resource Optimization

When given a resource that has unlimited scalability, software developers and other IT personnel can become like kids in a candy store. Nothing is off limits because there are no limits to what the cloud can provide. Unfortunately, the same IT personnel using these resources are not the ones paying the bills.  

In this session, instructor and architect Brian Kirsch will explore ways to control your cloud costs through cost optimization and resource discovery and allocation. In addition, he will review better policy and procedure tips to help streamline the initial requests, work to remove the need for going back and correcting cost issues as well as how to make sure you see a sustainable impact forward that does not affect the users.

Key takeaways: 
- Cost Optimization.
- Resource Discovery.
- Resource Allocation.
- Policy Request Tips.
- Procedure Tips.
- Reporting.

Controlling costs in a resource that has no limits...

Using cloud and cloud-migration to accelerate business growth and explore new ways to innovate and quickly implement new services emphasizes the need to adopt the mindset of security-by-design and zero trust. Without a solid foundation of cyberprotection, businesses open a gateway for cyberattacks and cybercriminals to cause severe and irreparable damage. 

The core and foundation of true cybersecurity is validated digital identities (eID): The prerequisite of all other cybersecurity measures. Validated digital identities must be the one and only authorized way to identify and gain access across all user groups, services, and devices. 

For more than 15 years, Denmark has provided public access to the eID-solution MitID. 3rd. generation is now available delivering one unified system giving both citizens, employees, public authorities, and businesses easy access to validated digital identities. Bjarke Alling has been closely involved in the development of the solution and will share insights into how it is used and how validated digital identities can be implemented. 

Takeaways: 
1.) How the Danish solution for validated digital identities works 
2.) What the Danish solution for validates identities gives access to 
3.) How to adopt validated digital identities as the foundation of a truly cybersecure cloud infrastructure 

About the speaker:
Bjarke Alling is co-founder and acting Group Managing Director of cybersecurity company Liga. He is a current member and prior co-chair of the National Danish Cyber Security Council, former chair of their IT-security committee, member of the board at The Danish ICT Industry Association (ITB), and member of the board of D-Mærket (D-Seal)

DevOps and Cloud: Driving Environments On Demand and Optimizing Investments

AI brings unprecedented opportunities to businesses, but also incredible responsibility. Its direct impact on people’s lives has raised considerable questions around AI ethics, data governance, trust and legality. In fact, Accenture’s 2022 Tech Vision research found that only 35% of global consumers trust how AI is being implemented by organizations. And 77% think organizations must be held accountable for their misuse of AI.  

As machine learning and AI become more ubiquitous, businesses will need to find ways of overcoming these questions, deploying AI systems that empower employees and fairly impact customers and society.   

Join Monark Vyas (Managing Director – Applied Intelligence, Accenture) to explore how to leverage Responsible AI practices to design and deploy AI systems that engender trust and allow your business to flourish.    

Topics for discussion include:

What's on the cloud's horizon for 2023?

Whether they know it or not, most companies' IT infrastructure is multi-cloud. Even when using a single cloud strategy to drive digital transformation, companies have workloads hosted in AWS, Office365 for the desktops, Salesforce for CRM, SAP Concur for travel and expenses. It doesn’t get more multi-cloud than that. 

The challenges are many:
·       How does a company manage all these different SaaS, PaaS and IaaS environments?
·       How do they keep security guardrails consistent?
·       What about keeping track of cloud native innovations?
·       And, most of all, how do they control costs?

In this session, join Jeroen Mulder (Principal Consultant at Fujitsu) as he discusses the principle of the single pane of glass view in managing business environments across cloud propositions, from security and cost management perspective. Attendees will come away with a deeper understanding of how to keep their company safe and financially sound on the road to digital transformation.

Containing Cloud Costs

The decentralized cloud (dcloud) is emerging as a cost-effective alternative to conventional public cloud services. 

Research universities, for example, love the convenience of cloud services, but find it hard to afford to store all the data they have to collect and maintain. 

As storage and compute become less tightly coupled, price-sensitive, early adopter customers have been storing their big data via services that harness the power and cost advantages of the dcloud: newly capable peer-to-peer data networks such as the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) and the cloud-friendly infrastructure that’s already being built on top.

Other early adopter organizations such as the Chrome development unit of Alphabet, Netflix and Opera have been using IPFS-based storage as a simpler, cheaper and in some other ways more suitable alternative for certain classes of data storage. Tape and other “cold storage” methods are under replacement threat as a result. 
 
This talk will provide an overview of dcloud (a.k.a., services that use the dgraph/dweb/web3)  or P2P data network cloud storage alternatives for enterprise, what the pros and cons are of these new services, and how they promise to expand the storage options available to mainstream companies.

Cloud Revolution: Accelerating Innovation to Future-Proof Business and Society

When we speak of innovation we invariably default to conversations about technology and how and where it can change our organisations, but true innovation requires creative, original thinking to create the innovative ideas in the first place. It is said that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process and expecting a different result. The same applies to how we think. We need a different approach to enable innovation.

Join us in this webinar to explore how different approaches to organisational thinking can unlock potential within your organisation and release the potential for greater innovation.

The Future of Innovation: Changing the Mindset

Making Software “Just Work” on IoT Devices!

In the era that your watch can track your vitals, your car get started with your cellphone, your digital speaker tells you a joke; how does it matter that your QSR drive thru talks to your freezer?

How Complete is your IoT Infrastructure? Where to start, where to end

IoT market has huge potential for growth: 24 billion to 125 billion IoT devices by 2030 from different market research. However, current status shows that only 10% of IoT projects are industrialized.
To overcome all the roadblocks and risks, a group of companies representing the full IoT value chain decided to offer an innovative IoT journey from proof-of-concept to industrialization. It allows any user to leverage from existing devices and ensuring that what loo you have developed at early stage can be reused to scale-up your projects in an industrial way and that they can be deployed internationally. This can be done in three simple steps:  
·        Start : learn and test approach with existing IoT devices and a development platform
·        Prove : to check the viability and benefits of the project with possibilities of customization, and identify ROI
·        Deploy and Scale: to scale efficiently with predictive costs and full customization if necessary
Hence, a continuity is ensured by the full compatibility in hardware, software and connectivity from the start to the scale-up phase.
Such offering is only possible by combining the strength and competences of partners representing the full IoT value chain: silicon components, software, electronic hardware, manufacturing and telecommunication. This is why the core partnership encompasses Orange, telecommunication provider, STMicroelectronics, for microcontrollers, Sierra Wireless, for communication chip and LACROIX for design and manufacturing.
We will share the benefits of this new offering with example.
